TMNT Imagines // Leonardo x Reader

2007Leonardo x Reader!

~I See Fire by Ed Sheeren is my 2007!Leonardo song, I don’t know why. But that line “keep careful watch of my brother’s souls…” it reminds me of him.

It’s perfect for him, go give a listen.

~Dating Leo before he leaves for training and when he goes…you don’t officially break up, but he tells you that he understands.

He understands if you get lonely or if you can’t wait for him and it’s the hardest thing he’s ever had to say.

But you’re waiting. And you tell him that.

“I’m waiting, Leonardo, okay? It’s only you…only you.”

~When he meets April in the jungle, he asks about everyone, including you. She tells him that you’ve been waiting, just like you said you would.

“She doesn’t really talk about it, you know how proud she can be…but Y/N really misses you.”

~Leonardo having a little photo of you that he carries with him through his journey. He takes it out, now worn out and a little faded, and looks at it.

Looks at you. And he just knows, he knows that it’s finally time.

“I’m coming home…”

~He sees Master Splinter first, of course he does. But that night, when he’s in his bed for the first time in forever…it doesn’t feel right. And when it’s so early that barely any light is on the sky, he slips out and goes to you.

He still knows the way, every single step of it. And then he’s there.

~He sees you through the window, fast asleep. He’ll come back in the morning, he decides. A look is enough. But then you’re awake and opening the window, saying his name.

And he’s slipping inside just like old times, right next to in bed. You’re here, you’re in his arms again. A hand cups your cheek so softly and you put your own cool hand over his.

“Please tell me you’re real…I’ve dreamed of you too much…” You whisper.

~“I’m here, Y/N, I’m really here…I dreamed of you too."

~You feel the same and smell the same and, oh god, he’s missed this. He’s missed you. Leo is trying not to cry as he lays down in your bed and finally falls asleep.

He mouths ‘I love you’ to your sleeping form as his eyes close.

~It takes a while to get started again and you start by telling each other everything. You didn’t know where to send your letters but you have a box of them and you finally give them to the turtle.

Reading them is bittersweet.

~And you? You and Master Splinter are the only ones who know everything that happened while he was training. He told you everything.
